Cash Corder had 16 and
Izzy Jantes scored 10 off the

Warrenton — on the
verge of winning Coastal
Range League titles in each
of the last two seasons —
may fi nally get one this sea-
son , as the Warriors return
with a strong lineup.
Warrenton even led 16-11
after one quarter, thanks
to 3-pointers from Hordie
Bodden Bodden and Elijah
Whitsett.
But Seaside opened the
second quarter with 17
unanswered points, and led
38-17 after a 27-1 run. The
Gulls had it wrapped up by
halftime, 42-20.
Bodden Bodden led War-
renton with 11 points.

Seaside girls’ win
Seaside’s Lilli Tay-
lor opened her fi nal prep
season with an 18-point
night Wednesday, leading
the Gulls to a low-scoring
28-18 win at Warrenton in
a 2021-22 girls basketball
opener.
The Warriors — look-
ing to end a 13-game losing
streak going back to Feb.
18, 2020 — were within
striking distance for most
of the contest, even clos-
ing to within 22-18 early in
the fourth quarter on a bas-
ket from freshman London
O’Brien.

Finding the perfect
Christmas tree this year
could be tricky after a bru-
tal summer heat wave
caused extensive damage to
the crop across the Pacifi c
Northwest.
Temperatures soared as
high as 117 degrees in Ore-
gon’s Willamette Valley during
a multi-day “heat dome” in
late June, burning needles to
a crisp and wiping out 70% of
Noble fi r seedlings, according
to one estimate from Oregon
State University.
Chal Landgren, a Christ-
mas tree specialist for the
Oregon State University
Extension Service, said the
extreme heat was unlike
anything he has ever seen,
and added to what was
already a dry summer.
“For seedling trees spe-
cifi cally, this last year was
devastating,” Landgren said.
The eff ects of the heat
dome can also be seen in
mature, harvestable trees.

I saw the highest standard of health safety practices in effect
during my hygienist appointment today—much higher precau-
tions than I’d seen in a local hospital when having tests last
month. The new sanitation equipment and attention to patient
safety at Klemp Family Dentistry is in keeping with a dental
practice I consider cutting edge with respect to all my dental
needs. It’s wonderful having a world class dental practice here
at the coast, one where I can have procedures performed for
which I used to have to travel to a specialist in Portland. I have
been a patient of several local dentists in the past, but none
had the skill and, more importantly, the attention to patient
comfort that Dr Klemp provides.

At Landgren’s 5-acre farm
in Scappoose, harvest was
down roughly 10%. In some
cases, trees were almost
completely burned on the
south-facing side.
“We’re just waiting to see
if the buds are alive,” Land-
gren said. “Maybe we’ll be
able to harvest them next
year. I don’t know yet.”
Industry-wide, Oregon’s
Christmas tree harvest is
likely to be down 5% to 10%,
said Tom Norby, president of
the Oregon Christmas Tree
Growers Association.
Oregon grows nearly
one-third of all U.S. Christ-
mas trees — 86% of which
are Noble and Douglas fi rs
— on 45,000 total acres.
The crop was valued at
$106.9 million in 2020.
Establishing tree seed-
lings is already diffi cult, said
Norby, of Trout Creek Tree
Farm in Corbett, about 20
miles east of Portland. Los-
ing 70% of Noble fi rs is a
serious blow for growers,
and could have implications
for years to come.

Two teams in the running
for league championships
— and one team among the
favorites for a state title —
tipped off the 2021-22 boys
basketball season Wednes-
day at Warrenton.
Looking for their fi rst state
championship since winning
back-to-back titles in 2017
and 2018, the Seaside Gulls
launched what they hope
will be another champion-
ship season, defeating the
Warriors 78-39.
The Gulls fi nished with
four players in double fi g-
ures led by Conner Lang-
mo’s 20 points.
